Quantitative penile material properties are needed for designing effective external penile occlusive devices (EPODs) to treat urinary incontinence.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Urology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence affects a significant population, necessitating improved treatment options.
  • Current treatments for urinary incontinence have limitations.
  • External penile occlusive devices (EPODs) offer a potential solution but require optimized design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather essential quantitative data on the material properties of penile tissue.
  • To inform the optimal design of external penile occlusive devices (EPODs).
  • To advance the treatment of male urinary incontinence through improved device engineering.

Main Methods:

  • Material property testing of penile tissue.
  • Biomechanical analysis.
